109. Flower Pot in the Wind.
2 years ago
Recently, I went out to film some pretty snow and this flower pot caught up to me.
Make an estimate of how fast the flower pot travelled from the bottom of the little hill (0:52) to the first light pole. The answer should be converted to miles per hour since I'm a stupid American.
The user with the best solution will be awarded a special video prize. In this case, accuracy is not as important to me as creativity. How the heck am I gonna know how fast that pot was moving? Bonus points for related clips of your solution.
BTW, it was "cold enough to freeze your wrists off."
Project Post: (Post a solution clip link in a comment below and in the forum post.)

The pot travels the distance in 8 seconds according to the timeline...
.125/8 mil/s = 1/64 mil/s = 60/64 mil/min = 15/16 mil/min= 900/16 mph = 56.25mph??
Damn that's fast...

The music and everything was great. Wow. The downloaded video looked really nice too. Good job Steve. High marks for creativity.
AND I CAN'T LIVE IN A NIPPLE-FREE STEADMAN WORLD!!
That's pretty creative. You're in the running.
but i don't think the pot could travel faster than the wind was blowing, right? So, I'm going to guess 27 mph. that's a guesstimate of windspeed based on the way the wind was yanking the american flag.
However, you are damned wrong about this. I know Wind & Nipples like I know my own sweet muffin buttum. That pot was traveling at 55 Nipples Per Second.
When you've pissed in the eye of a Killer Storm and Learned The Way of The Nipple, then come see me.
= 90km/hour = 55.925mph
That's really close to Lex's answer - sorry Lex, wasn't intentional, but maybe that means we're close to the real answer!

Vimeo is filled with geniuseseses!
The frenzy has begun. Make a guesstimate. Be creative. Make a clip with your answer for bonus points and link it here.

I loved the square root of AA over Schroberts.
Based on the rotation speed of the earth and factoring in the longitude and latitude of your location as well as the air-speed velocity of an unladden swallow (which is roughly the same weight as the pot) and the fact that the cold makes things go faster because they want to quickly get out of the cold (for proof, see how quickly you got back in the car) and allow for cribbing from other peoples' previous answers, my guess is 56.09mph.
*Hold me*

I'm going to re-do my calculations to take into account the energy coming from the sun and the age of your mother.
I can't belive it just took off so fast like that!
